ETHNIC HUMOR

THREE SAMURAI'S

In the time when the Samurai were important, there was a powerful
emperor who needed a new chief Samurai. So he sent out a
declaration throughout the land that he was searching for one.
A year passed, but only 3 people showed up:

1. a Japanese Samurai
2. a Chinese Samurai
3. a Jewish Samurai  (You snicker!  It's possible)

The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate
why he should be the chief Samurai. The Japanese Samurai opened
a match box, and out popped a bumblebee. Whoosh! went his sword,
and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground in two pieces.

The emperor exclaimed "That is very impressive!"

The emperor then issued the same challenge to the Chinese Samurai,
to come in and demonstrate why he should be chosen. The Chinese
samurai also opened a match box and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh,
Whoosh! went his sword, and the fly dropped dead on the ground
in four small pieces.

The emperor exclaimed: "That is VERY impressive !"

Now the emperor turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him to
demonstrate why he should be the head Samurai. The Jewish Samurai
also opened a match box, and out flew a gnat. His flashing sword
went Whoosh Whoosh!  But the gnat was still alive and flying
around.

The emperor, obviously disappointed, asked: "After all that, why
is the gnat not dead?"

The Jewish Samurai just smiled and said: "Circumcision is not
meant to kill."
